How This Folder Took Over the World

How This Folder Took Over the World - Lemmy.world

From the video description: > The Manila folder is a staple of the office environment, but it’s also a titan of media - it appears in detective thrillers, crime dramas, spy comedies and mundane slice of life office sitcoms. But why? How did it become so prominent? Well it all starts in the Philippines. While file folders, as well as file envelopes, are no longer solely made from abaca fibers (aka Manila hemp), the color it lent to its products still is used as a default in file folders.

Youtuber Mutahar Reacts to Being Mentioned in Philippine TV, Further Comments on Quiboloy - Lemmy.world

From the video description: > This time we take a look at a situation involving one of the more powerful figures in the Philippines, Pastor Quiboloy. With a man who has such a checkered history especially with the United States it’s no wonder YouTube stepped in to remove the channel. This incident had me end up on the national news of the Philippines. Wild stuff.

Anyone using Anki here? - Lemmy.world

Just as the post title says, is there anyone using Anki here? Would there be enough interest in making a separate Language Learning Anki community?

I'll start with mine.

I mostly use the desktop. My OS is Arch Linux and I use LibreWolf to access Lemmy.

Below is my fetch output:

On the times I use my (Android)‌ mobile phone, I use the Jerboa app, which I've gotten from‌ F-Droid.

I feel kinda ashamed at how smug I appear here. Also, yes, I'm currently at my work account.

How are you guys accessing and interacting with this community?

How are you guys accessing and interacting with this community? - Lemmy.world

I’m interested in knowing what you guys are using to access this community, whether or not it’s via mobile phone or via laptop or desktop. If accessing via a laptop or a desktop, what is your OS? Windows, MacOS, or Linux? And if Linux, what distro are you using? If accessing via a mobile device, you can add in some details about the app you are using or if you’re using it via a mobile browser. Of course, you guys can add more details. -------------------- Just to provide a bit of a background behind the question: I’ve had this preconception that the ones here are among the more technologically-inclined (whatever that means), and thus, I’m curious about the make-up of devices and software used to access and interact with this community.

I went to their wiki and looked at their commenting rules. I don't think I see anything about comment editing and deletions:

However, I might have run afoul their "absolutely no bots" policy. I have set my deletion tool to edit my posts before deleting. It might have been detected by their own bots and have flagged my account accordingly.

Banned from /r/polandball for deleting my comments - Lemmy.world

I’ve received this message on my inbox just a few hours after deleting my posts (all of them) last night. I’m just glad to know where they stand. And yes, I know that a lot of people have unsavory views about that subreddit, but I guess there’s just no accounting for taste.

Another update.

I tried installing vanilla Firefox (alongside LibreWolf, which I didn't touch), and for some weird reason, the error magically disappeared.

I am guessing now that something in my old LibreWolf config, which got overwritten when I installed Firefox, was the one causing the problems.

This might be my final update regarding this since due to what I did, there might not be any more chance for digging in deeper.

Update. I asked a friend of mine to take a look at the Lemmy.world front page via his browser (vanilla Firefox) and it works as expected.

I also did an earlier test on a chromium browser and it also works as expected.

It might just be that my browser is breaking stuff, which I need to investigate deeper.

Blank-ish Lemmy.world frontpage on the desktop

Blank-ish Lemmy.world frontpage on the desktop - Lemmy.world

When trying to access Lemmy.world from the desktop, I see this blank-ish page (see attached screenshot). And whenever I try to click Subscribed, Local, or All, the same error message pops up on the lower-left-hand side of my screen: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data I wonder if it’s connected to the work our admins have been doing recently. ---------- For disclosure, I am using LibreWolf and a userscript to make Lemmy pages look like old.reddit. I’ve turned off the userscript to check if the error disappears, but to no avail. I may have missed more details that might be helpful, but I’m willing to give such details.
